About The Horseman and the Mountain
A border village during the Iran-Iraq war experiences the evils of war from the viewpoint of a young man who reflects on the fate that befell his village in this grinding war. The reality of war is reflected by the villagers who try to lead a normal life despite all the hardships they are facing.
Directed by Mohamed Shukri Jameel, The Horseman and the Mountain leans on a strong ensemble — Fadil Khalel, Asaad Abdel Razzaq, Sami Abdul Hameed — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1987.
